"Combining RapidMiner with Python and R"

Hello everyone,

I am exploring RapidMiner, and I saw I can use Python and R in it.
I would love to get feedback from others that combine these three tools,
what is your typical workflow?

This is how I think about it.

R = academic / statistics
Python = practical ML / software engineering
RapidMiner = visual workflow / integration platform

One simple rule would be, if you can do it in RM then do it,
and if something has to be programmed then add Python / R operators in RM.

Thank you

    in my opinion R and Python help cover some niche cases which RapidMiner not yet covers, or does it poorly (e.g.: the web mining extension). If you work with the RapidMiner platform, you don't really need to program much, only a few lines to get some special functionality, via the scripting operators. The project framework that RM gives you is unparalleled in the R and Python world.

    There are some cases when some tasks are easier to do with a script than in RapidMiner, in those cases I would insist with RM for a given time, because once you solve a problem in RM, the future use of the process (changes, debugging, operationalization) is better if you don't depend on external tools.

    Regards,
